It still uses electrolysis which is power inefficient, the only benefit is the potential usage of sea water, which comes with higher risk of corrosion and organic pollution. So it is really cost of filtered water vs boiled or solar stilled water.

Capitalism is a good way to solve the allocation of ressources to increase production output.

But unstructured problems where answers can both be equally wrong or right and where the meaning is inherently difficult to rate without human input, can easily be solved BY ADDING human input, which is what OpenAI is doing now.

Humans alone are often not very creative, but humans as a collective of individuals able to learn from one another are immensly creative see as was seen during the demo phase. I alone would never had guessed that it could be used to emulate a terminal or a linux program or that it can create different answers by assuming different persona.

American politics is a charade.

The rich are running jokes on the people telling them whom to hate and what to think to distract from the real problem avoid real change.

Tiktok does just about the same thing that internet giants like google, facebook or even apple are doing. Google scans all your email attachments and reads all your emails. Facebook scans all your msg and images. Apple recently activated mandatory facial and body scanning on all photos.

The only reason Tiktok is in the news is because it is made by a foreign adversary. A hostile nation. Bytedance, the company running Tiktok is majority owned by the Chinese military.

But the real problem, that NOBODY is talking about is the lack of privacy and data protection for web.

If the US government would pass laws protecting the data and privacy of its citizen, then there would be no problem to begin with. If the apps are not allowed to access critical device and personal information automatically to begin with, no apps could be spy on you to begin with.

But then the government could not mass surveil its citizens anymore.

The argument that criminals or terrorists could use those privacy loopholes to commit crimes is a hoax.

They ALREADY use their own hardware with their own operating systems.

Mass surveillance is per definition for the masses, which means its citizens. It never was about criminals to begin with.

Fix those damn privacy laws and pass data protection laws to give EVERYBODY privacy, instead of those the criminals and terrorists.

End exploitive data mining and privacy abuse and increase privacy protection, so internet giants can't force consumes to agree to mandatory data sharing to use their service.

That's the point most people don't get. We have reached a point of no return on AI technology. AI technology will catch up to human capability this year, not next or a decade from now. It's here and it's going to stay and society and the job market are not ready for it.

Basic income will be a must now and it will change how immigration works, because no country will want to allow new migrations of low income workers, if they have to pay them basic income.

Oh, if you mean AR including a brain monitor than yes, that's a whole different beast. But aren't we still far away from that? Most people understand AR as a wearable headset screen like google glass or hololens.

But I get what you mean, the learning curve is much higher than in smartphone technology in certain aspects. But smartphones themselves were inherently difficult to build too. Not so much the hardware but more the software. They required a whole new operating system build from scratch. If it weren't for google or apple having the manpower, we could still be using clamshell phones even today.

People got used to the annual product cycle that they forgot that it takes decades for new hardware products to enter the market and technology to be cheap enough to gain enough traction among the masses. I don't work with hardware AR or VR but I am sure the problems are not that complex that you make it out to be. I think the limited processing power is what is limiting it. Display technology has matured enough due to smartphones that they should not be the problem. Making the cpu small and powerful enough should be no problem with 3nm technology that we are getting next year. So I expect large gains in 2024.
